About the Broad-tipped Conehead

The Broad-tipped Conehead is a insect in the family Tettigoniidae (order Orthoptera).

What does the Broad-tipped Conehead sound like?

Insects make sound mechanically: crickets and grasshoppers rub a scraper against a file (stridulation), cicadas buckle ribbed membranes called tymbals, and bees and mosquitoes hum with their wingbeats.

The recordings here are labelled as bioacoustica n triops. Listen for differences in rhythm, pitch and repetition – the spectrum display makes it easy to see whether a sound is a pure whistle (a thin line), a harsh call (a broad band) or a trill (rapid repeated marks).
